The V7 / TTV Shipping is one of the largest Internet mail order company for RechtsRock and articles from the world of neo-Nazi scene. The abbreviation V7 alludes to a full-wing aircraft allegedly developed by the National Socialists (the so-called Reichsflugscheibe ), the abbreviation TTV stands for "Tonträgerversand". The shipping offer ranges from CDs, flags and clothing to baseball bats , batons and bulletproof vests .

Company history

Ingo Knauf from Plüschow near Wismar is the owner and founder . He founded the mail order business in 2000 and produced CDs himself. Later he bought the label Wotan Records and the Aufruhr Versand from Gera . Knauf also bought the Show-Down Records label from former Blood & Honor executive member Bernd Peruch . He also took over the well-established TTV Versand from Lars Georgi .

Knauf also owns the label Bloody Creed Records and Bloody Core Records , a sub-label on which only largely politically unsuspicious hardcore is released.

V7 records

Almost 50 CDs were released on the shipping label V7 Records by 2008, and around 60 records were released under the Wotan Records label. Among the published CDs are the English right-wing rock band Brutal Attack , the Berlin band Spreegeschwader and Hauptkampflinie from Kassel. V7-Records had the bands Projekt Aaskereia , Kraftschlag , Nordfront and Sleipnir under contract.

background

Ingo Knauf is criticized by his own scene because of his aggressive business policy. He was asked by the editors of the Foier Frei fanzine whether he supported “various campaigns just for image reasons” or whether he was “with his heart in it”. Ingo Knauf was arrested by the right-wing rock band Landser because of his activities in the handover of the album Deutsche Wut and sentenced to a suspended sentence. Up to 2008 there had been four house searches.

In 2008 it became known that UPS was shipping V7's items , even though the company is aware of its neo-Nazi background.

V7-Versand is one of the market leaders among right-wing extremist mail-order businesses. The legal rock experts Jan Raabe and Christian Dornbusch put the annual sales of the mail order at over 500,000 euros. Due to the size and "capitalist" orientation of the mail order, a boycott of mail order was called within the neo-Nazi scene in 2008 because articles were supposedly overpriced and too little money was invested in political work.
